Tasmanian football champion Jack Riewoldt is spearheading the effort for the state’s new AFL team and is urging people to participate in a survey that will shape the club’s design and name.
The campaign is made up of an online survey and in-person community events and features questions about team colours, the preferred team name and the significance of a Tasmanian team to respondents.
Riewoldt is encouraging all Tasmanians, regardless of whether they live in Tasmania or overseas, to voice their opinions on the club’s creation.
He said the survey has had an ‘amazing response’ since its launch on Wednesday and footy fans have until November 30 to fill it out.
“This will be a really big power source for us to go and grab information and grab data and grab people’s thoughts,” Riewoldt said.
“We’re really excited about hearing from all Tasmanians. Whether you love footy or you don’t like football, we want to hear your thoughts on what this team should represent.”
“We’re looking to go far and wide with all our respondents; we’re looking to get into the nitty-gritty of what makes us Tasmanian and what our Tasmanian football club will be built on.”
“This is a product for all Tasmanians.”
